Las armas secretas brings together five short stories representing the best tradition of this genre. Along with excellent stories such as Cartas de mamá (Letters from Mother), Los buenos servicios (At Your Service) and Las armas secretas (The Secret Weapons), this book contains two masterpieces: Las babas del diablo (adapted for cinema by Antonioni in his memorable Blow-Up) and El perseguidor (The Pursuer), perhaps the most perfect and moving tribute to jazz genius Charlie Parker.
